Ohhh. I think I get it now. My understanding is that the directory
structure expected by Android Studio changes regularly and Cordova has
no choice but to change along with it. However, Visual Studio expects
Android debug APKs to be specifically named and located in order to
start Android debug sessions. This is convenient if you're developing
for Windows and Android because a single IDE can be used for both
platforms and the Cordova project source files are directly accessible
in the IDE.
The after-build script I posted in issue CB-13932
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13932) resolves the Android
debug APK naming/location problem in Visual Studio but I'm wondering if
there are any other tools with similar build artifact name/location
expectations. If so, Cordova could potentially insulate those tools
from breakages by incorporating something as simple as the above
after-build script into the build processes.

changes build tools versions and we barely have the resources now to play

Would it make sense to copy build artifacts to fixed locations, with fixed
names, and to publicize those locations and names for the use of downstream
tools? This would help avoid unnecessary breakages when the build tools
used or the project structures generated by Cordova are modified.
